.. _starch_diff:
`starch-diff`
=============
This tool allows the end user to quickly compare the compressed chromosomes in two or more v2.2+ Starch archives.
==================
Inputs and outputs
==================
-----
Input
-----
The `starch-diff` utility takes in two or more Starch v2.2+ archives as input. The end user may also add `--chr <chr>` to compare one chromosome directly; otherwise, all chromosomes in specified archives are compared.
------
Output
------
The typical output of `starch-diff` is a message indicating the archives' chromosome(s) are identical or dissimilar.
In addition, if the chromosomes are identical, `starch-diff` exits with a zero status code. Likewise, if any chromosomes are dissimilar, `starch-diff` exits with a non-zero status code.
============
Requirements
============
If the user passes in a pre-v2.2 archive, the utility will exit with a fatal error.
=====
Usage
=====
Use the ``--help`` option to list all options:
::
starch-diff

version: 2.4.35
authors: Alex Reynolds and Shane Neph
$ starch-diff [ --chr <chr> ] starch-file-1 starch-file-2 [ starch-file-3 ... ]
The 'starch-diff' utility compares the signatures of two or more specified
Starch v2.2+ archives for all chromosomes, or for a specified chromosome.
